Prima::...bcanvas(3)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so this is the Prima::...bcanvas(3) page, and the main character is Prima::Drawable::Subcanvas — it’s literally for painting a hierarchy of widgets to any drawable. no cap. 💅

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

The whole point? It’s needed for painting a screenshot on an image, printer, etc. iconic behavior, honestly.

It adds two methods to the Prima::Drawable namespace: paint_with_widgets and screenshot. that’s the whole vibe. periodt. 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

use Prima qw(Application Button);
my $w = Prima::MainWindow-> create;
$w->insert( 'Button' );
$w->screenshot->save('a.bmp');

---

🎀 METHODS 🎀

🎨 paint_with_widgets $canvas, $x=0, $y=0

Given that $canvas is in the paint mode, this method traverses all widgets exactly as they are seen on the screen, and paints them on the canvas with the given $x,$y offsets. it’s giving “take the whole widget situation and put it over there.” ✨

📸 screenshot $canvas, %opt

Syntax sugar over paint_with_widgets. literally the shortcut bestie. 🍓

It creates an image with the $self's, size, calls paint_with_widgets with it, and returns the screenshot. obsessed. 💖
